Another Delta Flight Scare in Detroit

(CBS/AP)  Last updated 4:42 Eastern

The same Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight that was attacked on Christmas Day saw another security scare Sunday after a confrontation with a sick passenger, officials said.

Security and airline personnel have been on edge since authorities charged a passenger from Nigeria with attempting to detonate a hidden explosive device while his flight from Amsterdam approached Detroit on Friday.

In the Sunday incident, the flight crew became concerned after the man - also Nigerian - became sick and spent about an hour locked in the bathroom, officials said.

"This raised concerns so an alert was raised," FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said. "The investigation shows that this was a non-serious incident and all is clear at this point."

No devices have been found on the plane and investigators say no apparent threats were made, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr.

After the flight crew became concerned, the pilot of the Sunday flight had requested emergency assistance upon arrival, sending federal authorities scrambling to respond to a potential danger.

The Transportation Security Administration said the airline alerted authorities to a "disruptive passenger" on board flight 253, who was taken into custody when the plane landed.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the incident, said the crew apparently acted out of an abundance of caution in alerting authorities.

Post-flight interviews by investigators determined the passenger was a legitimate businessman who posed no security threat to the plane, the two law enforcement officials said.

White House officials briefed President Barack Obama on the incident, which generated multiple law enforcement reports of a disruptive passenger aboard a Detroit-bound plane.

De-port Obama and his illegal Auntie. He is a power from Kenya and other set out to destroy the United States. The US Supreme Court failed in their duty of care to uphold the Constitution of the United States where each US citizen has a right that Obama(sec of states) violated; the right of each and every citizen to have as their president a us citizen who is 'natural born'. The purpose of the founding fathers was to prevent this very things which is happening right this minute. A force from other countries out to destroy the US right out of the Trojan Horse which sits in the White House.
Obama is in Hawaii trying to get his birth certificate doctored.Obama is a LIAR. The 3 branches of gov. are suppose to CHECK the other; not get along good ole boys as Judge Roberts talks about.

Take this case and uphold our rights, US Supreme Court. What do you think your purpose is??? This is not a choice; you have a f*** obligation to EACH of us. Get off your fanny.

OK...same flight, another Nigerian, another extended stay in the bathroom...does anyone actually believe the feds aren't covering up another attempt on the same dadgummed flight, from the same dadgummed Nigerians that tried to kill 300 people on Christmas day?! It's not only egg in the feds' face it's a super deluxe cheese omelet!!! So go figure they would cover it up. I'm not paranoid, but I'm not really that stupid either. I love our country but I don't always trust those running it

[igbins123]

u are such an idiot thats all i have for you

[newsworthy8]

Two scary airports full of scary people, Amsterdam and Detroit. I was at each on the eve of 911, talk about scary...bad, bad, people...

As usual, the Terminally Stupid Authority has over reacted and another round of useless "security" measures will be enacted.

Americans will give up even more freedom and flying will soon require passports between areas in the USA.

I for one, will never enter the USA again. The country is doomed. Good-bye America, it was a good idea while it lasted.

The thanks go to the Obama loving media, the US Supreme Court and the Democrats and most of all to Hussein Obama II who was not deported(and his Auntie). He is already on his way to destroying the US in the grand style of Joseph Stalin. Socialism-Marxist-Communisn all end the same. Fight for our freedom and liberty to keep our Consitution and our Country.DE-port Obama now. Who is at fault this minute?

The US Supreme Court.

Hate to say it, but Americans are really ignorant and stupid bunch. They really believe more body search and strict rules = safety.

Meanwhile, Americans don't give a damn our government miss warning signs after warning signs from terrorists, from Bush administration' apathy of warning signs from FBI field office, to now Obama's administration apathy ignoring the father of the Nigerian man.

I must say US government really is doing a good job of distracting Americans from holding the government itself accountable for failing time after time, instead creating circus act at TSA screenings, on flights, and people buy all these crap.

How many more rules are DHS/TSA will come up with, as one terrorists after another try one act after another? Pretty soon, the only safe way to fly is naked passengers with no carry-ons, and every passengers would be strap to their seats entire flight.

Only ignorant foreign tourist would still think travel to USA for vacation is fun at this point with all these comedic flight rules. America's tourists industry will die slowly from less and less tourist willing to tolerate these ridiculous rules.

I agree, good idea to move to another country at this point if you can. I am getting citizenship in another country, and I won't come back to this apathetic country either.
